TILT, or Table Injection for Layout Technique is an interesting method for keeping you markup clean while using tables for layout. The technique uses JavaScript and the DOM to create table-based layouts on the fly. Interesting and clever, but unfortunately it does require scripting to be enabled on the client. Still, the technique is worth being cognizant of and I would also point toward Glazkov’s engaging writing style as a reason to go check this out, as he sprinkles pop-culture allusions throughout the article.
The article essentially outlines a technical response to the fact to which Glazkov freely admits in the beginning, essentially that it’s very difficult to build templates that are not brittle.
